Volkswagen parts reviews

I have a red top, kicks ass, and would never get anything else..

When I went to Bilstein sports, I anticipated an increase in ride harshness - but was pleasantly surprised by a reduction harshness. Because the Bils have increased damping rates rebound vs. the GR-2's, so they are better able to damp the second half of a road surface impact - the part that bounces you up.

I got it. All good now. I swapped a Meyle coil (probably original right?) Out for or a used known good Huco. Knock at idle is GONE and she reves right up!

rear beam and tank off and ordered a new one instead of fitting the tank from the black car, its slowly getting there

The beetle ones have done me right for probably 30k miles. My setup is 3.5 in drop plates on 13"s with no leafs removed, it can still haul 800lbs with 130psi in the rear no problem.

I had the alternator changed in one of my Phaetons. The overhead light was fluctuating when the engine was running. The problem was fixed when the tech replaced the alternator under warranty.

Brembo's

When I was driving the American Passat, I switched it over to RedLine MT-90 at one point, and it was like buying a new transmission. The stuff that came out sure as hell wasn't 90W any more!

Today it took me a very long time to install the rear bilsteins. I kept thinking I was missing nuts and washers.

I went to Pep Boys Auto Toys and bought a Fram PH2870A. The day after my girl called me and said that her oil light kept going off, the pressure differential across the Fram was so big that it tripped the oil pressure switches. I replaced it with a MANN and tested the pressure and it was right where it was supposed to be.
